Les capacités thermiques sont capables de conduction rapide de la chaleur à partir du disque de platine. L'un des premiers moyens mis au point a été la construction d'une cible dans laquelle le disque de platine a été soudé sur un bloc solide de cuivre, comme le montre la Fig.347. Ce métal C, ayant une grande capacité thermique et étant un conducteur de chaleur arapide, tend à maintenir la température du platine P. bien qu'une grande amélioration par rapport au disque simple, eventhis rapidement prouvé inadapté, et a été suivie par la construction de l'anode lourde,

Oneof the first means devised was the construction of a target in which theplatinum disk was soldered on a solid block of copper, as shown in Fig.347. This metal C, having a large thermal capacity and being arapid heat conductor, tended to keep down the temperature of theplatinum P. Although a vast improvement over the plain disk, eventhis soon proved inadequate, and was followed by the construction of theheavy anode, the Gundelach tube (Fig. 342) being one of the earliestin which this was successfully used. The heavy anode differs essentiallyfrom the previous form simply in the addition of along tubular iron jacketF (Fig. 342), into the inner end of which the copper base E is screwed.The object of this jacket is to increase the heat radiating surface, and itwas made black at first with the view of presumably further increasingradiation, but many manufacturers have since failed to recognize any Fig. 347.

A modified form of the heavy anode is shown in the type ofMiiller tube represented in (Fig. 345), while still another modification isemployed in one of the most modern types of tubes, such as is illustratedin Fig. 346. In the last example the outer half of the jacket T is sphtlongitudinally, and this portion fits snugly over a tubular glass projectionS, which aids the heavy metal conducting rod R in holding the wholetarget firmly in place. This split in the jacket, not shown in the draw-ing, prevents cracking of the glass support *S, through expansion andcontraction of the metal. The diagram shows an additional transversesplit through the upper half. The water-cooled anode is anotherdevice of about the same age as the heavy anode.
